💡 Codebase verification
Based on the gathered information, I can now provide the final response:
Document the default value change and add migration guidance
The change to disable block allocation by default requires documentation updates and migration guidance because:
- The documentation in
docs/installation.mdalready mentions implications ofblock_allocation=Falsein HPC context, indicating it's a significant setting - Several tests and examples use
Executor()without explicitly settingblock_allocation, which will be affected by the default change - No CHANGELOG or migration guide exists to document this behavioral change
Recommendations:
- Add a CHANGELOG.md file documenting this breaking change
- Update docstrings and documentation to reflect the new default value
- Consider a deprecation cycle as suggested in the original review
- Add migration guidance for users who rely on the old behavior
🔗 Analysis chain
Verify impact of disabling block allocation by default.
While this change aligns with the PR objective, changing default behavior could impact existing code that relies on the implicit block allocation being enabled. Consider:
- Adding a deprecation warning when block allocation is enabled to help users transition
- Documenting this change in CHANGELOG.md
- Updating any examples or documentation that might assume the old default
Let's check for potential impacts:
Consider adding a deprecation cycle:
- First deprecate the True default with a warning
- Then change the default to False in a future major version
This would give users time to update their code explicitly.
Also applies to: 117-117
Let me analyze the results and generate additional verification scripts to check the documentation and potential impacts.
The first script will help us understand how block_allocation is documented and if the change in default value is properly documented. The second script will identify any examples or tests that might be relying on the implicit default value. The third script will check if there are any migration guides or changelog entries for this change.
This additional context will help us make a more informed decision about the potential impact and necessary documentation updates.
